The high megapixel count of the camera’s CMOS image sensor allows in more light for finer detail capture in your images, while the ultra-responsive high-speed AF locks onto your subject rapidly, so you’ll never miss a decisive moment. Target finding AF allows for more flexible composition, as the optimal focus area size and position are chosen according to the subject. When you aim your camera at your subject, it instantly predicts the area where focus should be acquired. The active focus area is automatically set in relation to the size of the subject, ensuring all images will be in clear focus. Target finding AF is as effective with subjects in the centre of frame as those that are off-centre, and works as well for smaller subjects like flowers and food as it does for human subjects.

4K UHD/30P MOVIES WITH STEREO SOUND

Shoot impressively smooth movies in 4K Ultra High Definition (3840x2160/30p) – ensuring that your recordings are state-of-the-art and future-proof as 4K UHD becomes standard – with great sound quality from the zoom microphone, which adjusts directivity along with zoom operation. Start filming instantly with a dedicated movie-record button. HDMI support means you can connect your camera to a TV or other external monitor with an optional HDMI cable.

The large vari-angle screen gives huge flexibility for creating different viewpoints – shoot high over crowds at concerts, take a low angle for wildlife and nature images, or shoot at a completely unique angle for architectural or travel shots. Self-shooting is simple with the vari-angle monitor, making it easy to add your personal commentary to the movies you’re shooting or snap a quick selfie when you’re in an unusual location. RGBW alignment provides superior visibility even in direct sunlight and offers low power consumption.

5-STOP DUAL DETECT OPTICAL VR (VIBRATION REDUCTION)

Vibration reduction reduces camera shake so you’ll always get sharp images with optimal exposure, regardless of your shooting conditions. The 5-stop Dual Detect Optical VR² gives a compensation effect equivalent to a shutter speed 5 stops faster. This can eliminate the need for faster shutter speeds, preventing issues like improper exposure or over-increased sensitivity. By utilising the camera shake information detected by the angular velocity sensor together with the data on direction and amount of camera shake (motion vector information), the newly-developed VR algorithm enables a more accurate calculation of the amount of image blur to achieve a greatly enhanced vibration reduction performance.

SNAPBRIDGE

SnapBridge maintains a constant, low-power connection between your camera and your smartphone or tablet to give you easy control over your photographic life.

FAST START-UP TIME, HIGH-SPEED AF AND SHORT SHOOTING TIME LAG

When there are no second chances for a shot, you can rely on the super-responsive operation of the B700. With a fast start-up time of approximately 1.3 seconds, High-speed AF giving you crystal clear focus in around 0.9 seconds, and short shooting time lag, you’ll be capturing the action the second that it starts. You’ll never miss a crucial moment again.

SHOOT RAW (NRW) IMAGES

Shooting RAW in Nikon’s NRW format means you never have to worry about any degradation in image quality. When images are written to the memory card in NRW format, the exposure compensation, white balance, hue, tone and sharpening information are saved as instruction sets within the file. You can change the instruction set on your images as many times as you like without ever disturbing the original RAW data.
